The hotel was super nice but there were quite a few little things that could have been better. 1)pool was closed (some kind of notice would have been nice) 2) no coffee in the morning except for what was in the room- I asked for extra creamer but they didn’t have any 3) no ice bucket 4) no microwave ...
